Farm / Acreage
The Sticks
Capertee, NSW, Australia
The Space
Six thousand acres in the Blue Mountains region, approximately two and a half hours west of Sydney. The Sticks operates at a scale that few locations in Australia can match, a working property of rolling grassland hills, golden lit valleys, native bushland, mountain streams, swimming holes and riverbanks that shift dramatically in character from first light through to dusk. Resident kangaroo mobs move across the hillsides, and the landscape reads as genuinely untouched rather than dressed, the kind of backdrop that takes years to find and cannot be manufactured on set.
The diversity of environments within a single booking is the property's defining production advantage. A red dirt track winding up through open pasture, a sun dappled river bend with overhanging gums, a timber cabin tucked into the hillside, open grassland catching the last hour of afternoon light, these are not separate locations requiring separate logistics. They are minutes apart across a 6,000 acre canvas that a production has entirely to itself.
At this scale, the property suits productions that need to move; multiple scenes, multiple looks, multiple days, without the cost and complexity of relocating base. Twenty five bedrooms across rustic log cabins, luxury lodges and riverside glamping tents allow talent and crew to be housed entirely on site, eliminating daily transit and maximising shoot hours. The onsite team assists with accommodation, access and location logistics, and local caterers familiar with the property can be arranged. A nearby township provides a pub, fuel, food and everyday essentials for longer productions.
The Sticks has previously hosted high end editorial shoots for Vogue and Elle, talent including Phoebe Tonkin and Teresa Palmer, a Flume and Anna Lunoe music video, and productions for Channel 9's Drive and Getaway, alongside various short films and screen productions. The property is well versed in the requirements of professional crews and the pace of a working shoot day.
A location that earns its place in the brief on scale alone, and delivers on every other count once you arrive.
